VIDEO: Marc McDonald – Employee #1 at Microsoft

Here’s a fascinating interview with Marc McDonald from Microsoft.
 
Marc is the VERY FIRST employee of Microsoft and he’s still with us to this day.  I won’t even begin to try to explain what he used to do and what he does now – just watch the video.  What’s funny is that
 
He shows the very first Microsoft business card, and he discusses why his employee ID is not "#1" and how many people worked to try to get him Employee ID #1 today, and why it wasn’t possible.
 
This guy is sharp… but you can tell he’s just plain an uber-coder.  A true "Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott" aka "Scotty".
